The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Big Bolts 2-ton rear axle removal

What special tools does it say you need? I've never seen any axles that need special tools to remove. I've dealt with 3 different ways to remove.

1)Axles with locking cones, need to smack the face of the axle to loosen and remove the cones then axle should pull free easily by hand.

2)Axles with threaded holes to allow bolts to be used to in essence press the axle off.

3)Just pull the axle off, sometimes can help to smack the face to get it to move off the hub face slightly, then it should remove fairly easily.

I'm not sure what you would attach a slide hammer to.

Perhaps if you post a picture we might be able to help better if we know exactly what you have.
